pacman::p_load(olsrr, corrplot, ggpubr, sf, spdep, GWmodel, tmap, tidyverse, gt, gtsummary)Hands-on Exercise 10: Calibrating Hedonic Pricing Model for Private High-rise Properties with the GWR Method
1. OVERVIEW
Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) is a spatial statistical technique that takes non-stationary variables into consideration (e.g., climate; demographic factors; physical environment characteristics) and models the local relationships between these independent variables and an outcome of interest (also known as dependent variable).
In this Hands-On exercise, we are going to build hedonic pricing models using GWR methods.
We will use 2015 RESALE CONDOMINIUM PRICES as our dependent variable.
The independent variables are divided into either structural or locational.
2. THE DATA
Two data sets will be used in this model building exercise, they are:
URA Master Plan subzone boundary in shapefile format –>
MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PLcondo_resale_2015 in csv format –>
condo_resale_2015.csv
3. GETTING STARTED
Let’s install the necessary R packages and launch these into the environment.
olsrr: R package for building OLS and performing diagnostics tests
GWmodel: R package for calibrating geographical weighted family of models
corrplot: R package for multivariate data visualisation and analysis
sf: Spatial data handling
tidyverse, including readr, ggplot2, and dplyr: Attribute data handling
tmap: choropleth mapping
The code chunks below installs and launches these R packages into R environment.
4. A SHORT NOTE ABOUT GWmodel
The GWmodel package provides a collection of localized spatial statistical methods, which are:
- GW summary statistics
- GW principal components analysis
- GW discriminant analysis and various forms of GW regression
Typically, the outputs or parameters of the GWmodel are visualized through mapping, serving as a valuable exploratory tool that can often guide or complement more traditional or advanced statistical analyses.
5. GEOSPATIAL DATA WRANGLING
5.1 Importing Geospatial Data
The code chunk below is used to import MP_SUBZONE_WEB_PL shapefile by using st_read() of sf packages.
mpsz = st_read(dsn = "geospatial", layer = "MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL")Reading layer `MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL' from data source
`C:\loriellemalveda\ISSS626-GAA\Hands-on_Ex\Hands-on_Ex10\geospatial'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile'
Simple feature collection with 323 features and 15 fields
Geometry type: MULTIPOLYGON
Dimension: XY
Bounding box: xmin: 2667.538 ymin: 15748.72 xmax: 56396.44 ymax: 50256.33
Projected CRS: SVY21
The report indicates that the R object containing the imported MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL shapefile is named mpsz and is classified as a simple feature object with a geometry type of multipolygon. It is also important to highlight that the mpsz object lacks EPSG (spatial reference system) information.
5.2 Updating CRS Information
The code chunk below updates the newly imported mpsz with the correct ESPG code (i.e. 3414)
mpsz_svy21 <- st_transform(mpsz, 3414)After transforming the projection metadata, let’s verify the projection of the newly transformed mpsz_svy21 by using st_crs() of the sf package.
st_crs(mpsz_svy21)Coordinate Reference System:

6. ASPATIAL DATA WRANGLING
6.1 Importing the Aspatial Data
Let’s use the read_csv() function of the readr package to import condo_resale_2015 into R as a tibble data frame called condo_resale.
condo_resale = read_csv("data/Condo_resale_2015.csv")Next, it is important for us to examine if the data file has been imported correctly.
Let’s use glimpse() to display the data structure.

6.2 Converting the Aspatial Dataframe Into An sf Object
Currently, the condo_resale tibble data frame is aspatial data. We will convert this to an sf object using the code chunk below.
condo_resale.sf <- st_as_sf(condo_resale,
coords = c("LONGITUDE", "LATITUDE"),
crs=4326) %>%
st_transform(crs=3414)The st_transform() function from the sf package is used to convert the coordinates from the WGS84 coordinate reference system (CRS: 4326) to SVY21 (CRS: 3414). After the transformation, the head() function is applied to display the first few rows of the condo_resale.sf object.

7. EXPLORATORY DATA ANALYSIS
In the section, we will perform EDA using the statistical graphics functions of the ggplot2 package.
7.1 EDA Using Statistical Graphics
We can plot the distribution of SELLING_PRICE by using the appropriate Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) techniques as shown in the code chunk below.
ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x=`SELLING_PRICE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
The figure above reveals a right skewed distribution. This means that more condominium units were transacted at relative lower prices.
Statistically, a skewed distribution can be normalized by applying a log transformation. The code snippet below demonstrates how to create a new variable, LOG_SELLING_PRICE, by applying a log transformation to the SELLING_PRICE variable. This operation is performed using the mutate() function from the dplyr package.
condo_resale.sf <- condo_resale.sf %>%
mutate(`LOG_SELLING_PRICE` = log(SELLING_PRICE))Now, let’s plot the LOG_SELLING_PRICE using the code chunk below.
ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x=`LOG_SELLING_PRICE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
Now, the distribution is relatively less skewed after the transformation.
7.2 Multiple Histogram Plots Distribution of Variables
In this section, let’s create small multiple histograms, which is also known as a trellis plot, using the ggarrange() function from the ggpubr package.
The code chunk below generates 12 histograms and then organizes them into a 3-column by 4-row layout using ggarrange() to form a small multiple plot.
AREA_SQM <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `AREA_SQM`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
AGE <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `AGE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_CBD <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_CBD`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_CHILDCARE <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_CHILDCARE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_ELDERLYCARE <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_ELDERLYCARE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf,
aes(x= `PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_HAWKER_MARKET <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_HAWKER_MARKET`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_KINDERGARTEN <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_KINDERGARTEN`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_MRT <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_MRT`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_PARK <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_PARK`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_PRIMARY_SCH <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_PRIMARY_SCH`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_TOP_PRIMARY_SCH <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf,
aes(x= `PROX_TOP_PRIMARY_SCH`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
ggarrange(AREA_SQM, AGE, PROX_CBD, PROX_CHILDCARE, PROX_ELDERLYCARE,
PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA, PROX_HAWKER_MARKET, PROX_KINDERGARTEN, PROX_MRT,
PROX_PARK, PROX_PRIMARY_SCH, PROX_TOP_PRIMARY_SCH,
ncol = 3, nrow = 4)
7.3 Drawing the Statistical Point Map
Lastly, let’s reveal the geospatial distribution of condominium resale prices in Singapore. The map will be prepared by using the tmap package.
Let’s use the interactive mode of tmap by using the code chunk below.
tmap_mode("view")We will then create an interactive point symbol map using the code chunk below.
tmap_options(check.and.fix = TRUE)
tm_shape(mpsz_svy21)+
tm_polygons() +
tm_shape(condo_resale.sf) +
tm_dots(col = "SELLING_PRICE",
alpha = 0.6,
style="quantile") +
tm_view(set.zoom.limits = c(11,14))It is important to note that tm_dots() is used here instead of tm_bubbles(). Additionally, the set.zoom.limits argument within the tm_view() function is utilized to set the minimum and maximum zoom levels to 11 and 14, respectively.
Before proceeding to the next section, the code snippet provided below will be used to switch R’s display to plot mode.
tmap_mode("plot")8. HEDONIC PRICING MODELLING IN R
In this section, we are going to build hedonic pricing models for condominium resale units in Singapore using the lm() of R base.
8.1 Simple Linear Regression Method
First, we will build a simple linear regression model by using SELLING_PRICE as the dependent variable and AREA_SQM as the independent variable.
condo.slr <- lm(formula=SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM, data = condo_resale.sf)The lm() function returns an object of class “lm”, or for multiple responses, of class c("mlm", "lm"). The functions summary() and anova() can be used to generate and display a summary and an analysis of variance table for the results. Various useful components of the lm output, such as coefficients, effects, fitted values, and residuals, can be extracted using the respective generic accessor functions.
summary(condo.slr)
Call:
lm(formula = SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM, data = condo_resale.sf)
Residuals:
Min 1Q Median 3Q Max
-3695815 -391764 -87517 258900 13503875
Coefficients:
Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) -258121.1 63517.2 -4.064 5.09e-05 ***
AREA_SQM 14719.0 428.1 34.381 < 2e-16 ***
---
Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1
Residual standard error: 942700 on 1434 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared: 0.4518, Adjusted R-squared: 0.4515
F-statistic: 1182 on 1 and 1434 DF, p-value: < 2.2e-16
The output report reveals that the SELLING_PRICE can be explained by using the formula:
*y = -258121.1 + 14719x1*
The R-squared value of 0.4518 indicates that the simple regression model explains approximately 45% of the variance in resale prices. Since the p-value is significantly smaller than 0.0001, we reject the null hypothesis that the mean is a good estimator of SELLING_PRICE. This suggests that the simple linear regression model is a good predictor of SELLING_PRICE.
In the “Coefficients” section of the report, it is shown that the p-values for both the intercept and the estimate of ARA_SQM are smaller than 0.001. Consequently, we reject the null hypothesis that B0 and B1 are equal to 0, leading us to conclude that B0 and B1 are reliable parameter estimates.
To visualize the best fit line on a scatterplot, we can use the lm() function as a method within ggplot’s geometry, as demonstrated in the code chunk below.
ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf,
aes(x=`AREA_SQM`, y=`SELLING_PRICE`)) +
geom_point() +
geom_smooth(method = lm)
The figure above reveals that there are a few statistical outliers with relatively high selling prices.
8.2 Multiple Linear Regression Method
VISUALIZING THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLES
Before constructing a multiple regression model, it’s important to check that the independent variables are not highly correlated with each other. If highly correlated variables are mistakenly included in the model, it can reduce its accuracy, a problem known as multicollinearity in statistics.
A correlation matrix is commonly used to visualize the relationships between independent variables. In addition to R’s pairs() function, many packages offer ways to display a correlation matrix. In this section, we will use the corrplot package.
The code chunk below demonstrates how to create a scatterplot matrix to explore the relationships between the independent variables in the condo_resale data frame.
corrplot(cor(condo_resale[, 5:23]), diag = FALSE, order = "AOE",
tl.pos = "td", tl.cex = 0.5, method = "number", type = "upper")
Matrix reordering is very important for uncovering hidden structures and patterns within a matrix. In corrplot, there are four reordering methods (set using the order parameter): “AOE”, “FPC”, “hclust”, and “alphabet”. In the previous code, the AOE order was applied, which arranges variables based on the angular order of eigenvectors, a method suggested by Michael Friendly.
From the scatterplot matrix, it is evident that Freehold is highly correlated with LEASE_99YEAR. Given this, it is more prudent to include only one of these variables in the subsequent model. Therefore, LEASE_99YEAR is excluded from the following model-building process.

CHECKING FOR MULTICOLLINEARITY
In this section, we introduce a fantastic R package specifically designed for performing ordinary least squares (OLS) regression: olsrr. This package offers a collection of highly useful methods for improving multiple linear regression models, including:
- Comprehensive regression output
- Residual diagnostics
- Measures of influence
- Heteroskedasticity tests
- Collinearity diagnostics
- Model fit assessment
- Variable contribution assessment
- Variable selection procedures
In the code chunk below, the ols_vif_tol() function from the olsrr package is used to check for signs of multicollinearity in the model.
ols_vif_tol(condo.mlr1) Variables Tolerance VIF
1 AREA_SQM 0.8728554 1.145665
2 AGE 0.7071275 1.414172

13 FAMILY_FRIENDLY 0.7244157 1.380423
14 FREEHOLD 0.6931163 1.442759
Since the VIF values of the independent variables are less than 5, we can safely conclude that there is no sign of multicollinearity among the independent variables.
TEST FOR NON-LINEARITY
In multiple linear regression, it is important for us to test the assumption that linearity and additive of the relationship between dependent and independent variables.
Using the ols_plot_resid_fit() of the olsrr package, let’s perform the linearity assumption test.
ols_plot_resid_fit(condo.mlr1)
The figure above shows that most of the data points are scattered around the 0 line, indicating that the relationships between the dependent variable and the independent variables are likely linear. Therefore, we can reasonably conclude that the assumption of linearity holds for this model.
TEST FOR NORMALITY ASSUMPTION
Lastly, the code chunk below uses ols_plot_resid_hist() of the olsrr package to perform the normality assumption test.
ols_plot_resid_hist(condo.mlr1)
The figure reveals that the residual of the multiple linear regression model (i.e. condo.mlr1) resembles a normal distribution.
For more formal statistical test methods, refer to the ols_test_normality() of the olsrr package as shown in the code chunk below.
ols_test_normality(condo.mlr1)-----------------------------------------------
Test Statistic pvalue
-----------------------------------------------
Shapiro-Wilk 0.6856 0.0000
Kolmogorov-Smirnov 0.1366 0.0000
Cramer-von Mises 121.0768 0.0000
Anderson-Darling 67.9551 0.0000
-----------------------------------------------
The summary table above reveals that the p-values of the four tests are way smaller than the alpha value of 0.05. Hence, we will reject the null hypothesis and infer that there is statistical evidence that the residual are not normally distributed.
TESTING FOR SPATIAL AUTOCORRELATION
The hedonic model we are building incorporates geographically referenced attributes, making it important to visualize the residuals of the hedonic pricing model.
To conduct a spatial autocorrelation test, we need to convert the condo_resale.sf object from an sf data frame to a SpatialPointsDataFrame.
The first step is to extract the residuals from the hedonic pricing model and save them as a separate data frame.
mlr.output <- as.data.frame(condo.mlr1$residuals)Next, let’s join the newly created data frame with condo_resale.sf object.
condo_resale.res.sf <- cbind(condo_resale.sf,
condo.mlr1$residuals) %>%
rename(`MLR_RES` = `condo.mlr1.residuals`)Next, we will convert condo_resale.res.sf from a simple feature object into a SpatialPointsDataFrame, as the spdep package can only work with spatial data objects in the sp format.
The following code chunk demonstrates the data conversion process.
condo_resale.sp <- as_Spatial(condo_resale.res.sf)
condo_resale.spclass : SpatialPointsDataFrame

Next, we will use the tmap package to display the distribution of the residuals on an interactive map.
The code chunk below is used to create an interactive point symbol map.
tmap_mode("view")
tm_shape(mpsz_svy21)+
tmap_options(check.and.fix = TRUE) +
tm_polygons(alpha = 0.4) +
tm_shape(condo_resale.res.sf) +
tm_dots(col = "MLR_RES", alpha = 0.6, style="quantile") +
tm_view(set.zoom.limits = c(11,14))Remember to switch back to “plot” mode before continuing!
tmap_mode("plot")The figure above indicates signs of spatial autocorrelation. To confirm this observation, we will perform the Moran’s I test.
First, we will compute the distance-based weight matrix using the dnearneigh() function from the spdep package.
nb <- dnearneigh(coordinates(condo_resale.sp), 0, 1500, longlat = FALSE)
summary(nb)Neighbour list object:

After this, the lm.morantest() function from the spdep package will be used to perform Moran’s I test to assess residual spatial autocorrelation. This will help us determine whether the spatial distribution of residuals indicates significant spatial autocorrelation.

The Global Moran’s I test for residual spatial autocorrelation indicates a p-value of less than 0.00000000000000022, which is significantly smaller than the alpha value of 0.05. Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis that the residuals are randomly distributed.
Additionally, since the observed Global Moran’s I value is 0.1424418, which is greater than 0, we can infer that the residuals exhibit a clustered distribution pattern.
9. BUILDING HEDONIC PRICING MODELS USING GWmodel
In this section, we are going to model hedonic pricing using both fixed and adaptive bandwidth schemes.
9.1 Building Fixed Bandwidth GWR Model
COMPUTING FIXED BANDWIDTH
In the code chunk below, the bw.gwr() function from the GWModel package is used to determine the optimal fixed bandwidth for the model. Note that the argument adaptive is set to FALSE, indicating that we are calculating a fixed bandwidth.
There are two possible approaches to determine the stopping rule: the cross-validation (CV) approach and the AIC corrected (AICc) approach. In this case, we define the stopping rule based on the agreement between these approaches.
bw.fixed <- bw.gwr(formula = SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM + AGE + PROX_CBD + PROX_CHILDCARE + PROX_ELDERLYCARE + PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA + PROX_MRT + PROX_PARK + PROX_PRIMARY_SCH +

Fixed bandwidth: 971.3405 CV score: 4.721292e+14
The result shows that the recommended bandwidth is 971.3405 meters. The result is in meters because the coordinate reference system (CRS) used in the model is likely a projected coordinate system, such as SVY21 (EPSG: 3414) or UTM, which measures distances in meters. Unlike geographic coordinate systems like WGS84, which use degrees to represent latitude and longitude, projected systems are designed for spatial analysis and use linear units like meters to provide accurate distance measurements over a specific area.
GWModel METHOD - FIXED BANDWIDTH
Now we can use the code chunk below to calibrate the gwr model using the fixed bandwidth and gaussian kernel.
gwr.fixed <- gwr.basic(formula = SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM + AGE + PROX_CBD + PROX_CHILDCARE + PROX_ELDERLYCARE + PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA + PROX_MRT + PROX_PARK + PROX_PRIMARY_SCH + PROX_SHOPPING_MALL + PROX_BUS_STOP + NO_Of_UNITS + FAMILY_FRIENDLY + FREEHOLD,

The report reveals that the AICc (Akaike Information Criterion corrected) of the geographically weighted regression (GWR) model is 42263.61, which is significantly smaller than the AICc of the global multiple linear regression model, which is 42967.1. This suggests that the GWR model provides a better fit for the data compared to the global model.
9.2 Building Adaptive Bandwidth GWR Model
In this section, we will calibrate the gwr-based hedonic pricing model by using the adaptive bandwidth approach.
COMPUTING THE ADAPTIVE BANDWIDTH
As in the earlier section, we will first use bw.gwr() to determine the optimal number of data points to use for the adaptive bandwidth. The code used for this process is very similar to the one used for calculating the fixed bandwidth, except that the adaptive argument is now set to TRUE. This change ensures that the bandwidth adapts to the density of data points, allowing for more flexibility in areas with varying data density.
bw.adaptive <- bw.gwr(formula = SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM + AGE + PROX_CBD + PROX_CHILDCARE + PROX_ELDERLYCARE + PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA + PROX_MRT + PROX_PARK + PROX_PRIMARY_SCH + PROX_SHOPPING_MALL + PROX_BUS_STOP + NO_Of_UNITS + FAMILY_FRIENDLY + FREEHOLD,

Adaptive bandwidth: 27 CV score: 4.462172e+14
Adaptive bandwidth: 30 CV score: 4.422088e+14
The result shows that the 30 is the recommended data points to be used.
CONSTRUCTING THE ADAPTIVE BANDWIDTH GWRModel
Now, we can go ahead to calibrate the gwr-based hedonic pricing model by using adaptive bandwidth and gaussian kernel.

9.3 Visualizing GWR Output
In addition to the regression residuals, the output feature class table includes fields for observed and predicted y values, condition number (cond), Local R², residuals, explanatory variable coefficients, and their standard errors:
Condition Number: This diagnostic evaluates local collinearity. Strong local collinearity can make results unstable. Results with condition numbers greater than 30 may be unreliable.
Local R²: These values range from 0.0 to 1.0 and show how well the local regression model fits the observed y values. Low values indicate poor model performance in that area. Mapping the Local R² values can highlight where the GWR model predicts well and where it struggles, potentially identifying missing variables in the model.
Predicted: These are the fitted y values estimated by GWR.
Residuals: Residuals are calculated by subtracting the fitted y values from the observed y values. Standardized residuals have a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 1. A cold-to-hot color map of standardized residuals can be created to visualize these values.
Coefficient Standard Error: This measures the reliability of each coefficient estimate. Smaller standard errors relative to the coefficient values indicate higher confidence in the estimates. Large standard errors may signal local collinearity issues.
All these values are stored in a SpatialPointsDataFrame or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object, which is integrated with fit points, GWR coefficient estimates, observed and predicted y values, coefficient standard errors, and t-values. These data are stored in the “data” slot of an object called SDF in the output list.
9.4 Converting SDF into sf data.frame
To visualize the fields in SDF, let’s first convert it into an sf data.frame.
